I also think long term, other things being equal, platinum has to be higher than gold. Short term, though, no way of telling since they are...
Its legal just like any discount provided to larger customers is legal. If you buy a truckload of a product, I will guarantee you that the price...
Rolled coins aren't free! Banks have to pay to get rolled coins, I know because I have met a few gentlemen who make a side living doing this for...
Many just draw a line at buying current stuff from a brutal regime who murder their own people. Sorry, but I will not buy anything from such a...
All good questions Doug. I am unsure of where I would be. My first inclination would be that it would be wrong to compare bid lists and agree to...
Mine was sent this morning. :)
And I would bid against you as well Dmitry. :) Actually, if you collected what I do, you very well would be bidding against me I assume since the...
Might be tough Dmitry, I am not sure. Usually a wavy planchet is indicative of PMD since the striking pressure usually smooths out such issues...
Just thought I would bounce this off you guys. There is an auction coming up next month, and the firm allows internet bidding as well as floor...
But Pawnstars shows the dangers of selling to a "generalist". Usually, as a seller, you can get a better offer selling something to a dealer that...
Even if Matt wasn't a dealer I would agree with this post. Its variable. Does the dealer have 5 collectors willing to pay a premium for that coin?...
Good posts, I agree as well its not cast. What I do if I am wondering if its casting bubbles is look at the bubbles under 32x magnification using...
All good advice. A coin is only worth it to you what you will pay. I would offer a little under what he wants, if you wish to pay that. If he...
Thanks! I thought the coin looked familiar, but not being a big greek silver guy, I couldn't place it off the top of my head.
Look at the pic of the edge of the coin. Just right of center, see the horizontal line? This color difference indicative of casting is many times...
Nah, that is the best part. You get to look down and ridicule the ignorance of those who don't know what US coins have been made. :)
I liked his work, (a little cavalier sometimes, but still), and the fact he was a true pioneer in many US fields. The whole information that came...
Yeah, I don't like it either. Way too many symptoms of a fake. The porosity, gross unevenness of the edges, the file marks on the edges, the...
I agree as well, and would guess a 35. However, keys sometimes get bumped so a 40 would not be impossible. Nice coin. Most of the fake 42/1's...
Yup. We deserve all the money we make here, and the advice we give is worth every penny you paid for it. :)
